Collected Works Quotes

“Can knowledge be conveyed that isn't felt?
But if transport's the problem -
they tell me get a job and earn yourself
an automobile-I'd rather collect my parts
as I go: chair, desk, house
and crankshaft Shakespeare.
Generator boy, Paul, love is carried
if it's held.”
― Lorine Niedecker, Collected Works

“Know amazedly how
often one takes his madness
into his own hands
and keeps it.”
― Lorine Niedecker, Collected Works
